XIM is a pretty obsolete input method protocol which both ibus and fcitx implement for legacy support reasons only. There is no real reason why you would want to use XIM nowadays over any of those two. The only reason why you would want to set GTK_IM_MODULE="xim" is to override GTK's hardcoded ComposeKey settings
